movie: TOKYO!

TOKYO! trailer, originally uploaded by echo^∆^.

In TOKYO!, three visionary directors come together for an omnibus triptych examining the nature of one unforgettable city as it’s shaped by the disparate people who live, work (and run amok) inside an enormous, constantly evolving, densely populated Japanese megalopolis — the ravishing and inimitable Tokyo. In the tradition of such films as NEW YORK STORIES, NIGHT ON EARTH, PARIS JE T’AIME and its forthcoming sequel NEW YORK I LOVE YOU, TOKYO! addresses the timeless question of whether we shape cities, or if cities shape us — in the process revealing the rich humanity at the heart of modern urban life.

heatwave auckland

Phew -

The last couple of days have been swelteringly hot. Apparently, the hottest in 137/138 years.

1871 must have had a good summer.

Thankfully/Dissapointingly the heat has subsided and were back to regular old 23ºC. No more 8:30pm swims. I’m in two minds weather its good that I can now breath outside of my air con protected office, or weather I liked feeling like I was in the Vietcong.

Oh well, it may become a regular thing, with earth toasting up and all. (I kind of hope so…is that bad?)

game: Dead Rising 2 Annouced

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d87f8pqEsU8&eurl=http://kotaku.com/5148320/could-this-be-dead-rising-2&feature=player_embedded]

Earlier this week this virally marketed video was induced upon the internet. Ominously without any branding.

It was announced by Capcom today, that it is indeed a confirmation of Dead Rising 2,  and it looks as though it has been in the works for a while…


Dead Rising 2

The first Dead Rising was a dream for anyone who has ever sat around in a dark, empty house with their friends and discussed what strategy they would use if indeed – the zombie invasion began. The game snatched a lot from a certain zombie flick in particular; Dawn of the Dead, one of my personal favourite films.

The new game is said to have tens of thousands of zombies stumbling up and down the neon lit strip of vega..- FORTUNA CITY.

Can-not-wait to check it out.

countdown to Japan!

Ah, so!

Me and Fran are on our way back to Japan, about the same season as last year. Although I hope to god that this time, we catch even a hint of cherryblossom time.

I’m super excited for the beer and gyoza combo’s, the neon canopy, the station specific train tones, and even the ramen slurping businesmen. Hopefully Fran doesn’t grind her teeth away having to listen to them!

I made a countdown and reported its status over the last couple of months to my patient and humoring workmates – here it is:

I love the colours of my new bag. It doesn’t however, have the right structure to support my laptop – so it’s my new beach bag!

…even if I only carry my keys in it.
